Point of contact for onboarding

[tobie]

While there is a clear point of contact during onboarding (the project champion and a single mailing list address), it's not super clear who to contact during incubation to help answer project-specific questions or how to do so.

I've cc'ed @brianwarner on a number of issues here and on various AMP repositories, but that feels brittle; I'm not sure Brian's always the right person, and if he received those GH notifications, and thus whether or not someone is actually working on those.

I also have specific issues that I need the CPC to answer (e.g. ampproject/wg-foundation-onboarding#2), and I'm not sure how to go about that either.

It would be helpful to have a better idea of how to proceed here. Maybe a dedicated incubation GH team we could assign issues to? Maybe an incubation champion?

Maybe a lot of this is already organized and I'm just not aware of it.

Assigning (as opposed to cc'ing) is a good way to ensure I see it. It also allows me to reassign if I'm not the right person.

Right, but that requires:

• The applicant to be a member of this org and have triage permission for this repository (or the incubation one) and each repository in the Applicant's own org in which you might be susceptible to be assigned an issue.
• You to be a member of each org that's in incubation and have triage permission on each repository where you're susceptible to have an issue assigned.
• Any of your colleagues susceptible to have an issue re-assigned to them be a member of each incubation org and have read permission on each repository in which they're susceptible to have an issue re-assigned to them by you.

That's certainly doable, but it would be good to have it written down so it can be organized all at once.

Champion remains point of contact through incubation. Documentation needs to be updated to make that clear.

As discussed, I will send out a doc update PR.

(I don't have perms to assign to myself yet.)

IIUC, I should update PROJECT_PROGRESSION and maybe link reference to "champion" in STAGING_PROCESS to the requirements that they be able to push things before the council.
